Stuck with Ashley

[Sclox]

Why do Ashley apologists think this all about investment and spending on players.Its about his theft from the club,his treatment of the fans and more importantly,the sort of person he is.
I dont want a man like this owning the club.I would be happy with an owner that just re-invested what the club made and wasnt a liar and a thief.

Doesn't it just prove that he isn't the shrewd businessman he's made out to be.

If he had any sense at all he would have developed the club and the infrastructure as well as all of the development side and success would have easily followed thus bringing more notice of his love child, business baby Shyte Direct who would have benefitted from all of the additional exposure.

He's a one-trick pony, albeit with a very successful trick. Buy bulk shite and sell it cheap whether that's stock or fsiling brands.

He could have made so much more by investing in our potential but he's too stupid and too tight.

[Jammy89]

Agreed.

He could of pushed us forward instead. . .

He's ****ed this club over badly to the point we're miles behind where we could be.

It's sickening.

The stupid annoying thing about it all though is that he personally and his shyte company would have benefitted more than anyone else out of shrewd, careful investment.

Yep. I mean, the most commonly used comparison is with Spurs...look at where we both were when fatso took over and now, You're spot on with that, Jammy-it is sickening.

But, you could go further and look at teams like Bournemouth or Wolves and see where they were.

And of today's standings add to those two Leicester, Sheffield United, Burnley and Brighton.

Every one of those more than comfortably beneath us, not only in league position but almost in every aspect, a few seasons ago.

When Shiekh Mansour bought Man City he paid 210m.Now I know he has ploughed shed loads of money in and the franchise he now has with Man City and the other clubs is valued around 3.5 billion.
He has spent 1.5 billion at Man City.I know figures are easy but imagine what this club could now be worth with a low percentage of that investment.The slug paid just under 150m for us,he values us at 350m.
So Man City have grown to over 17 times what was paid and we have stagnated to under 3 times what was paid.Still as long as we are in the holy grail of the Premier League losing every other week and get told we have no chance of going bankrupt,are a club without ambition we should be grateful.
What could have been.

Fatso wanted half a billion from Sheikh Mansour, less than 24 months after paying under £200 million (in total) for the club.

He threw in his insults for free!
